Marx 34 Pc Railroad and Construction Set - Conclusion

In the late 1950's/early 1960's the Louis Marx Co. included a 34pc cardboard village with some of its 3-rail O-gauge train sets. The various buildings were  rather smalll but actually worked quite well alongside other makers cardboard buildings like Built-Rite. Last year Toys & Stuff posted scans of the set pieces but quite frankly I goofed and never built them up or photographed them. Well, I tried to rectify the omission this year and started featuring photos of the built-up set back on July 19. Today we're going to finish this thing up by posting the people, trees, signs, and the last big structure - the Railroad Station. Enjoy!

Here's the large envelope the set came in (a bit tattered though)

And here we have all the pieces set up

Marx 34 Pc Village and Construction Set - Ranch House

Back on Mar 3, 2011 Toys & Stuff featured scans of this modern Ranch House (Ranch House scans) and today we're FINALLY featuring photos of the built-up house. The house measures  7 5/8" (19.4cm) L x 3 1/8" (7.9cm)n D x 2 1/2" (6.4cm) H. This whole debacle has taught me a lesson (I hope). That is, not to post scans unless I've also built the structure and photographed it. It just makes life a lot easier. Enjoy!
